FSSC 22000 certification in Adelaide at a glance
Adelaide's food story starts with wine: the state's economic development department says, as listed in 2026, that South Australia produces 80 per cent of Australia's premium wine, and Edinburgh Parks, which lists food manufacturing among its industries, counts Ingham's, Drakes and Coles among its occupants. Manufacturers and packers in that world sell to retailers who want proof that food safety is managed systematically. FSSC 22000 provides it in a form recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative: ISO 22000 as the management system, sector prerequisite programmes for the type of operation, and additional scheme requirements covering food defence, fraud and allergen management. Sterling's Sydney office carries out a gap assessment, builds the missing layers, trains internal auditors and prepares the site for the certification body's audit.

FSSC 22000 in Adelaide: questions clients ask
Who in Adelaide chooses FSSC 22000?
Manufacturers and packers supplying major retailers or international food brands, which commonly ask for a GFSI-recognised scheme. Fresh produce and wine businesses may be asked for other schemes. Confirm the customer's accepted list before choosing FSSC 22000, since schemes are not interchangeable.
How long does it take a South Australian manufacturer to prepare for FSSC 22000?
It depends on how mature your HACCP plan, prerequisite programmes and records already are. A site with good controls mainly adds management-system structure and the scheme's extra requirements on food defence, fraud and supplier control. A site starting from scratch needs more groundwork. A gap assessment gives a realistic plan.
